“We were impressed with the great turnout last year and hope that we can make this year an even bigger success,” says Daniela Martinez, an Ambrose MBA alum from Ecuador and former president of BeeGlobal. “It’s a great way to interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds without having to leave the Quad Cities.”
BeeGlobal’s purpose is to promote diversity and unity by encouraging interaction between persons of all cultures on campus, educating the campus community about various cultures and reaching out to the larger community.
